The New Orleans Pelicans have recalled Kenrich Williams from his most recent G-League assignment, the team announced on Thursday afternoon (Dec. 6).

Williams was with the Westchester Knicks for the second time this season. He’s played a total of five games with Westchester and has averaged 13.4 points, 11.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.0 blocks while shooting 54.7 percent from the field.

Williams was one of three Pelicans assigned to G-League teams. The team has kept two-way contract player Trevon Bluiett in the G-League all season long and sent guard Frank Jackson down this week.

Bluiett has played with the Westchester Knicks and is averaging 11.9 points and 4.0 rebounds per game. On Wednesday, Bluiett had a career-best 29 points.

In Jackson’s first game with the Texas Legends, he scored 25 points on 9-of-20 shooting with seven rebounds.
